Sitting down and thinking about it, if I could go back in time a couple of years, there are some things I would do differently.

Some decisions that I have taken over the course of this time haven't really panned out and I am sure if I had put a little more thought into it at the time, life, in general would be different - better.

But then, there is no such thing as retrospective enlightenment. You don't get here unless you've been there and lived through it.

A few days ago, continuing the sporadic exchange of songs me and Sudnya conduct, I was asked to listen to 'Viva La Vida' by Coldplay... the title track of their new album. Apparently, she has shifted focus to another track on the album because she asked me to listen to 'Strawberry Swing' and I also spied this.

But it so happens that I've been listening to that song for a couple of months now and its been in the while(1) phase several times. The part that most stuck in my mind was the conclusion ...

Now the sky could be blueI don’t mindWithout you it’s a waste of timeCould be blueI don’t mindWithout you it’s a waste of time

Well the sky could be blueCould be greyWithout you I’m just miles away

Well, the sky could be blueI don’t mindWithout you it’s a waste of time

All that you touch and all that you seeall that you taste, all you feeland all that you love and all that you hateall you distrust, all you saveand all thatyou give and all that you dealand all that you buy, beg, borrow or stealand all you create and all you destroyand all that you do and all that you sayand all that you eat and everyone you meetand all that you slight and everyone you fightand all that is now and all that is goneand all that's to come and everything under the sun is in tunebut the sun is eclipsed by the moon

~ Pink Floyd

It seems they are trying to say that whatever you try to do, accomplish, work towards, sometimes the goalposts might just move a little bit further away. When you are engulfed by darkness, all the joy and happiness you can muster from within and all the good that is to come will be eclipsed.

And of course, in the end, it doesn't make any difference at all. Matter of Fact, its all Dark.
